| Anyone who goes to New Zealand and doesn't go to Franz Josef Glacier
or Fox Glacier is, for lack of a tactful way to put this, an idiot.
These are two of four glaciers in the world which terminate in a rain forest.
Tariq and I went kayaking with Ferg's
Kayaks for a morning of paddling before an afternoon of heli-hiking
on the glacier. That water was mirror-like, and the plant life of
the rain forest made me feel like I was paddling through the bayou.
We even took a short hitch up a frozen river.
All photos on this page are by Ferg. I highly recommend his to
anyone who is going to be in the area. |
